2	Macroinvertebrates functional feeding groups as indices of biological assessment in a tropical aquatic ecosystem: implications for ecosystem functioning Roland Efe UWADIAE Benthic Ecology Unit, Department of Marine Sciences, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, Nigeria. Email: eferoland@yahoo.com. Tel: +2347059497190. Abstract. The composition and abundance of functional feeding groups of the benthic macroinvertebrate communities were investigated along the stretch of Epe lagoon in south-west Nigeria, between September, 2004 and August, 2006. The hypothesis being tested was that functional feeding groups of benthic macroinvertebrates can be used as surrogate for biological assessment. Quantitative benthic samples were collected monthly at 8 sites. Total dissolved solids of the overlying water, total organic, sand and mud contents of sediment were assessed. The amount of dissolved solids recorded in this study ranged between 18 and 15,200mg/L. There was significant difference (P<0.05) in total dissolved solids at the study stations. The total dissolved solids at stations 1 to 3 were similar and significantly lower (P<0.05) than those at stations 4 to 8.The study area was predominantly sandy (range = 54.4 to 93.6%) intermixed with varying proportions of mud (range = 1.01 to 44.6%). A comparatively higher proportion of mud in sediment was recorded in station 3. Total organic content ranged between 1.01 and 10.45%. In terms of relative abundance, collector-filterers and shredders were the predominant groups at most sites. They contributed 77 and 15% respectively to the total benthic macroinvertebrate population. Predators had low abundance in all the study sites and were absent in sites 6 and 8. Correlation between Total organic content and density of collector filterers at the study sites was significant (P < 0.01). Although there was a marked variation in the density of the observed functional feeding groups in the stations used for this study and sequential downstream changes in species composition, most functional feeding groups (apart from predators) were represented down the whole length of the study stretch. The implications of the observed pattern of variation in the density of functional feeding groups, for water quality assessment and ecosystem functioning are discussed.

Twenty five (25) Wister Albino rats of both sexes weighing between 100-170g were used for each experiment. The results showed that the fraction insignificantly (P>0.05) reduced the number of unformed faeces at all the doses tested. There was a insignificant (P>0.05) decrease of 6.13% in the distance travel by the charcoal at 200mg/kg when compared to the control, while at 400mg/kg the extract significantly (P<0.05) decrease the distance travel by the charcoal by 29.8% and at 600mg/kg the distance travelled by the charcoal was decreased insignificantly (P>0.05) to 12.49% when compared to the control. The result of the study showed that the ethyl acetate fraction of Acacia nilotica possesses antidiarrhoeal activity since it reduces the number of unformed faeces decreased the intestinal transit of charcoal.

6	An Evaluation of waste management in Botswana: Achievements and Challenges Ednah kgosiesele and Luo Zhaohui School of Environmental Studies, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) Lumo Road 388, Wuhan City, 430074 Hubei Province, P.R. China. Correspondence email: gookiz@yahoo.com Abstract: This paper gives examines waste management in Botswana based on government documentation and other relevant work on the subject. It explores the main achievements the country has made and highlights on some of the challenges of waste management in the country. Botswana has experienced increased waste generation due to increased population that outweighs the country’s capacity to deal with increased volumes of waste, lack of adequate financial, technical, technological, and human resources to deal with the problem. It is suggested that environmental education be prioritized, national database on the volumes of wastes generated in the country be built and environmental legislation be strengthened.

7	*The most frequent c.239A>G SNP of NKX2.5* is not involved in Congenital Heart Disease S. M. Dinesh, Kusuma L, and N. B. Ramachandra Genomics Laboratory, Department of Studies in Zoology, University of Mysore, Manasagangothri, Mysore 570 006, Karnataka, India. E-mail: nallurbr@gmail.com Abstract:** Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most developmental errors in humans, affecting 8 out of 1000 newborns. Cardiac septal defects (CSD) constitute the majority of CHD, however, the etiology of CSD remains unclear. About 85 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NKX2.5 have been associated with various forms of CHD. A total of 150 CHD patients and 70 controls were screened for NKX2.5 SNPs by PCR amplification and direct sequencing, as well as Mass array techniques. The sequence analysis was done by using Accelerys gene software. In this study, six SNPs, c.239A>G (48.66%), c.608A>G (0.6%), c.646C>T (25.33%), c.852G>A (3%), c.896C>A (0.6%) and 1212G>T (40%) were identified, of which 239A>G was the most frequent in both cases and controls. The SNP c.239A>G (rs2277923), leads into synonymous change of glutamine, in turn, the effect is neutral, thereby its frequency is almost equal in both controls and cases. Therefore, this SNP is not involved in the manifestation of CHD. [New York Science Journal 2010;3(8):43-47].

Email: oparamax@yahoo.com ABSTRACT: The blood chemistry and other haematological parameters of 130 West African Dwarf (WAD) goats consisting of 60 adults (30 bucks and 30 does) and 70 young ones (56 buck-kids and 14 doe-kids) were determined. The mean PCV (%), WBC (X 10⁹/l), RBC (X 10¹²/µl) and Hb (g/dl) were 28.4 ± 0.9, 17.3 ± 0.9 X 10⁹ / L, 2.7 ± 0.1 X 10¹² / µl, and 9.5 ± 0.3g / dl respectively. Male WAD goats had significantly (p < 0.05) higher lymphocytes, neutrophil and WBC than the females, while other parameters were similar. The values obtained for serum sodium, total protein and urea levels were 126.1 ± 2.2mmol / l, 5.2 ± 0.1g / dl and 37.9 ± 1.7mg / dl respectively, while the values obtained for serum enzymes such as Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST), Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT) and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) were 6.7 ± 1.01 IU / l, 5.3 ± 0.7 IU / l and 63.2 ± 6.9 IU / l respectively. There was significantly (p < 0.05) higher percentage of PCV, Hb and RBC in female WAD goats than the males. The WBC, MCV and MCH were significantly higher in the male WAD goats. The percentage of lymphocytes was higher in male goats, while that for neutrophil was higher in the female goats. Age did not significantly influence the haematological parameters of the WAD, except for the significantly higher Neutrophils in the does than other groups. Eosinophil values were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the WAD doe – kids than other age groups examined. Serum sodium was higher (p < 0.05) in younger WAD goats, than the older ones. This study has reported haematological and serum biochemical values which could serve as baseline information for comparison in conditions of nutrient deficiency, physiological and health status of West African Dwarf goats in Southeastern Nigeria.

Graduate School of Environmental Science, Okayama University, Okayama, Japan ^2. Department of Soil, Water and Environment, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh farookahmed12@yahoo.com, duharun@yahoo.com Abstract: A field survey was conducted in the chakaria of Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh in 10 different spots (latitude 24⁰2^/ N and longitude 89⁰8^/ E) to evaluate the nutrient status of the acid sulfate soils covering an area of about 26,000 hectare. The profile study of 10 spots of different location was studied taking the sample at every 10 cm towards the depth of 100cm. The decreasing trends of pH from surface to subsurface of these soils were observed. The impaired absorption of Ca, Mg was observed. The P availability was observed very low but the water soluble sulfur was very high in the studied profile. The Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of the studied soils ranged from 15.1 to 37.4 c mol kg^-1. The highest Total Sulfuric Acidity (TSA) of the studied soil profile was 23.6 cmol kg^-1 which indicates that a huge amount of lime will be required to neutralize the surface 20 cm of the soil which is very expensive.

15	Signaling Necessities and Function of Polyamines/ Jasmonate -Dependent Induced Resistance in Sugar Beet Against Beet Mosaic Virus (BtMV) Infection Wafaa M. Haggag¹, Younis Sabry Mahmoud2 ,Eman M. Farag3 1.Department of Plant Pathology, National Research Center, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt, 2.Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Sohag University, Sohag 82524, Egypt. 3.Botany Department, (Plant Pathology) South Valley University, Egypt. Wafaa_haggag@yahoo.com Abstract: Induced systemic resistance (ISR) in plants against pathogensis a pervasive phenomenon that has been intensively investigatedwith respect to the essential signaling pathways as well asto its potential use in plant protection. In the present study, sugar beet plants treated with methyl jasmonate (MJ) exhibited augmentation resistance to Beet Mosaic Virus (BtMV), associated with increased polyamines (PAs) and salicylic acid (SA) buildup. BtMV-inoculated plants showed symptoms resembling severe mosaic, mottling and deformations. Spraying the leaves of sugar beet with MJ helped to preclude the twisted destructive possessions. Conspicuously the double antibody sandwich-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) values were decreased in the extracts of MJ-treated plants. In addition, the lesion numbers and concentration of BtMV- were abridged by polyamines i.e. L-Ornithine; L-Ornithine.Hydro; L-Ornithine.monohyd; Pentamidine and Diminidine treatment. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and Western blotting of -coat proteins accumulation in leaf tissue revealed that MJ at 3.0 µg/ml concentration entirely subdued BtMV protein accumulation. The changes in some biochemical and molecular parameters in sugar beet leaves allied to BtMV infection and the effect of exogenous application of MJ were showed, 15 days followingtreatment. Significant increases in levels of free and conjugated putrescine, spermidin and spermine were noticed after treatment of the leaves with MJ. These changes wereaccompanied by increasing the activity of soluble ornithine decarboxylase(ODC) and polyamine oxidize (PAO), in leaves following treatment withMJ. Analysis of soluble protein, salicylic acid (SA), peroxidase, chitinase, polyphenoloxidase and phenols in protected plants revealed conspicuous accumulation of such substances. In addition, protein patterns symbolized some newly synthesized polypeptides which mirror formation of certain pathogenesis associated proteins in MJ treatment. All results show significant changes in metabolism affected by either viral infection or MJ treatments and also indicated that exogenous MJ plays an important role in the induction of defense mechanism against BtMV infection.
